Hello paulie420!

It's seems to be pretty reliable and accurate wrt real/original  
local "sending" time of messages too (unlike Telegram where the  
timestamp is based on when the message is distributed from the  
central server.)   Session still is operational on Win7  
machines too.  And.. an account "syncs" very conveniently  
between devices - that is, across a desktop, two laptops and  
two mobile phones.

Too bad Session doesn't have a re-edit though.


 p> Signal - still requires a phone#

I'm still leary to bother with Signal.  Does it facilitate  
sync'ing between devices?


 p> Sesions - no phone#, can be anonymous

Exchanging the initial invite links kinda exposes the parties  
though if regular email is used.

I think Simplex is quite nice.  It has re-edit!  :D   ..but I  
don't think it supports sync between devices.

Have you tried Briar?  It's has a slightly different look/flow.  
It facilitates a kind of "broadcast" channel where a message  
there will be sent to all contacts, and a "forum" channel that  
facilitates topical discussion if desired.  Briar can also be  
anonymous. It can also be configured to use BT or wifi and  
avoid cellular, but contacts can still intercommunicate using  
whatever radio is available.
